Here's the funny thing. Thus far, there has been no cases in the American legal system. There is no precedent or case law applicable here--so you can't say that there are going to be successful lawsuits.

Companies can try, but until there is some precedent, neither you nor I are in any position to state what's going to happen. Unless of course you're an understudy of Miss Cleo...

From what I can see, the biggest thing is whether OSS licenses are going to be viewed as being under contract law or copyright law, and whether other acts such as Sarbanes-Oxley are going to have an impact.

LMAO! While you've hardly posted anything correct in the whole time you've been here, the level of your cluelessness still continues to amaze.
